She was also surprised by the age of the youngest person to access Grampians Community Health's counselling for crystal methamphetamine-related issues.

Speaking at the evening forum on July 23, taskforce co-ordinator and Grampians Community Health alcohol and other drugs counsellor Brendan Scale said the youngest person was 12, a year older than Laticia.

He welcomed Laticia's proactive response to the forum.

"It goes with the vision of the taskforce to encourage everyone to take action in some capacity," he said.

Laticia has already succeeded in spreading the word about the taskforce's work and the harm caused by alcohol and other drugs in the Wimmera.

Some of her peers have been inspired to join her on the ride on October 5.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, so it will be a family activity for Laticia and friends.
